Montmorency County approves participation in remnant opioid settlement
Summary
The Montmorency County Board unanimously approved Resolution 2026-08 on April 9, 2026 to execute a Participation Agreement for the remnant defendants settlement, which the resolution states involves a combined $97,625,000.00 payment by the listed defendants.
The Montmorency County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously April 9 to authorize the county to join a participation agreement in the national opioid litigation remnant settlement.
Resolution #2026-08, moved by Commissioner James Madison and seconded by Commissioner Mary Hardies, authorizes execution of a Participation Agreement for the remnant defendants settlement. The resolution states that the six remnant defendants have agreed to pay a combined $97,625,000.00 in cash to resolve pending opioid-related litigation and notes the county previously executed participation agreements for multiple earlier opioid settlements.
The resolution was adopted by roll call (Madison, DeVriendt, Hardies, Peltier and Hamlin) with no opposing votes. The formal resolution text was included in the meeting record and signed by Chair Mary Hardies on April 9, 2026. The board’s action allows county officials to finalize the paperwork required to receive settlement disbursements under the terms described in the agreement.
The settlement language in the resolution lists the named distributor and manufacturer categories included in earlier settlements and describes the remnant group of defendants and the dollar figure the board authorized the county to accept.
